Commercial Description:
You’ve got to love coffee to truly appreciate this phenomenal brew. Brewed with an abundance of flaked oats, bitter and sweetened imported chocolates, Sumatra and Kona coffee. We’re actually not sure if this is some type of coffee cake or a beer. Either way you can drink this ale with a fork. Breakfast Stout has an intense fresh roasted coffee nose toped with a cinnamon colored frothy head that seems to never fade and makes you wish breakfast could last forever.

Pours pitch black with a minimal brown head. Aroma mainly of coffee. Floods the mouth with coffee-y goodness. Kind of oily mouthfeel which is understandable if you watch as it pours. Almost syrupy. Flavor is like a frappuchino with more coffee. Delicious!

Bottle but also currently on tap @ Twisted Spoke. One of the best stouts i’ve ever had. Aroma is steeped coffee grounds, chocolate, and burnt bitterness. Flavor is rich, complex and coffee galore.

Bottle. Thick black elixir with brown head and loads of thick lacing. Rich coffee and mocha aromas with Mayan chocolate accents. Creamy body. Oh man! Intense creamy coffee and cocoa throughout. I love this brew!

One of the better coffee stouts to be had. Not sure it is a good choice for breakfast though. Comes in a 12oz screwtop.

Outstanding. Wish I could afford to drink this all the time. Great aroma. Great looking. Taste is excellent chocolate with maybe just a touch more coffee than I like. But overall, this is a fantastic beer.

High octane dark chocolate coffee stout. Goes down good and smooth. Great creamy/frothy large light brown head with excellent lacing. Smelled like it tasted, dark chocolate coffee, I thought the coffee stuck around longer then other stouts at the end, but still good finish.

Silky smooth and goes down easy for such a dark brew. Explodes with flavor and leaves a nice creamy finish. This along with the Fullers London Porter are in my top three...
